re: Black Americans Need 320 Years To Achieve Equality With White People in Living Standards

…Cubans and Vietnamese were successful…

Cubans fleeing communism came to the U.S. with very little assets circa 1960 and by 1970 were the main socio-political force in Miami and soon ran the place turning it into one of the hemisphere’s major cities. The Vietnamese who escaped the communists through unbelievable travails came with nothing and now the second and third generations are some of the highest achievers in American society.

Strange when Cubans and Viet Namese are successful in first generation of immigration.

I mean, many but not all of those immigrants came over here with capital or access to it because they were the folks getting ran off by communists. Starting off with a little bit or being afford some opportunity goes a long way. Black people after the civil war got deflationary rollback on greenback fiat currency right when a new group of people needed capital infusion to get started on generational wealth. They were left with Jim Crow and sharecropping which was just free labor market sanctioned slavery.

One of the big mistakes after the civil war was not hanging or shooting all of the big whites in the south and giving their property to the small whites and freemen.
